Hi there too everyone. My name is Jon and I also signed up fairly
recently as part of my master plan to be on more LUG lists.
I live on most UK lug lists now and travel around the country mostly
between OxLUG, NotLUG though whichever group I am near at the time.

:-).

| I currently work in Norwich as a programmer (using,
| boo hiss, M$ stuff, like c# and asp.net)

I do Linuxy embedded stuff but I volunteered to learn some .NET c# stuff
purely out of interest as long as it does not suck me in!

Try setting up an IMAP server such as courier IMAP and then installing
the squirrelmail web frontend for when you want quick access.

You can go a little bit more complex by adding in mailscanner and a
bunch of other stuff like directory support when you want to.

| Converting my website to php: Use Kate for this.

I have a continual struggle between making my site boring and plain and
also viewable in horribly broken browsers. The old site was nice and
bland but people moaned and I thought it looked terrible so I tried
properly CSSifying it which is great until you have no CSS :-).

| FTP: Use command line for this.  A bit primitive perhaps,
| compared to some of the GUI ones I've use in windoze,
| but effective.  And reminds me of when I first learned ftp
| at uni, which was also command line.

I try to avoid GUIfication whenever I can but have to admit I was an
early adopter of enlightenment and now love using GNOME every day!

Jon.
